Just thought I would let you know about the just announced candidate for Sheriff.

From his website:

My goal is to deploy an additional 50 Deputies within the first six months of my administration, WITHOUT requesting a budget increase. THIS IS JUST A START ….

And yet a supposed question from OCSO employees:

OUR INVESTIGATORS ARE OVERWHELMED WITH UNSOLVED CASES. MUCH OF THIS IS DUE TO A MANPOWER SHORTAGE…WHAT’S YOUR SOLUTION?

More often than not, to fulfull the campaign promise of more deputies out in the street means current investigators are released of their duties and put back in uniform. Naturally, they are replaced somewhere down the road with cronies of the new sheriff.

Any idea how long he worked for SCSO and now BCSO?

I think what this candidate is saying is that he will "employ" more DS. That does not say move from other positions.

Regardless of who runs, I feel strongly that Kevin will hang it up. He is well vested in the retirement plan, has taken a lot of flak for a number of things and will probably be glad to retire.

He once told me he wanted to retire eventually and open a fishing goods store, take it easy. In addition, consulting jobs will keep him busy.

I've been on road almost 150 our of last 300 days, so have been busy. Missed lots of local stuff.

Any talk about Malone Stewart running? Have worked with him on a couple of things and he seems to be a very good guy. In addition, a Black republican with his extensive LE background could ring well with voters.

Just as long as we get rid of Vickie Vargo I am in her district, am a Conservative Republican, a former member OCREC, I consult at the US House and Senate level....... and when I need something locally for my neighborhood., I have to get it from Patty Sheehan, an openly lesbian Dem... and College Park isn't even in Patty's district! !

Vickie is hated in College Park.

PS, Lawrence Kolin considering run against Fred Brummer in County race. Kolin is a Dem, but have known him for about 20 years, a good kid. Fred is awfully tired.

Me, saying nice things about Dems??? I had a dental implant today. Maybe it's the drugs.
